Leverkusen miss with Kruse long term injured and Hegeler two guys, while Hoffenheim can count on almost all, only DEF Abraham seems to miss here.

I said it already, Leverkusen did very hard in the past and they were not able to win a single match till the winter break. This may change in the upcoming matches, and why not today against a team who is very unstable in defensive. Leverkusen was always able to overcome this Hoffenheim side what should be a good opportunity to get back on track. They got some self confidence back last weekend although they were totally outplayed from Bayern Munich. But they scored in the end and this can be a good boost for them anyway and the defeat was close with 1-2.

1899 is a scoring machine this season but they can not score as much as they conceded. They are the team with the most entertainment in BL this season. The offensive is great with a lot of good players who can make the difference but they did not work well against the ball and therefore the defending row is always helpless against according to some situations they stand under huge pressure where they produce a lot of mistakes who lead to a lot of goals. If the defending duo Süle and Vestergaard stands on the pitch and build up the central part in defensive line they never won a match and conceding always a lot. This happen some time this season and whilst Abraham is out it is likely that they play again as last weekend. But the option with Strobl is maybe possible too.

Hot atmosphere here today as the first match produced the phantom goal and the Hoffenheim players are very angry about this and they want revenge today. On Leverkusen's side is Sam fit again and could help to get the offensive play rolling. I am very keen on goals in this where both have a lot of options in the offense play. I do not like so high lines anyway, but if you brave enough you can take the 3,25 line with better odd, or you wait for some in running action.

Recommend Bet: OVER 3 @ 1,65 (3 Units)
